Kendrick Lamar has achieved the record for the highest-grossing touring year ever by a rapper.

According to ChartData, the Grand National Tour brought in an impressive $390.7 million, marking a significant milestone for K-Dot. This feat was accomplished with 2.037 million tickets sold over the course of 47 shows in 2025.

TDE’s Punch expressed his reaction to this remarkable achievement.

“390 is nuts lol. Extremely grateful!” he posted on X.

“Also lol. You guys are something else,” he added. “You can’t discredit Dot by saying it’s cause SZA was on the tour. Nor can you discredit SZA by falsely claiming she didn’t headline. Both things are true. Dot got the highest grossing rap tour of all time AND SZA co-headlined. lol. Another truth, they both could’ve did separate stadium tours with similar results. But chose to do it together because… FAMILY.”

Kendrick Lamar’s “Grand National Tour” featuring SZA began in April and concluded in December. Before reaching the Australian segment in November, it eclipsed Drake’s 2023-2024 “It’s All a Blur Tour” to become the highest-grossing rap tour ever. Drake’s tour with 21 Savage generated $320.5 million from 1.3 million tickets across 80 shows.

This month, Drake announced plans for a 2027 tour to promote his albums “Iceman”, “Habibti”, and “Maid of Honour”.
